Here's why Cowboys will cover 3-point spread vs Cardinals

Bettors are always looking for an edge to determine who will come out on top in any given matchup. Monday night game’s are the crowning contest of the weekend. Either a bettor is looking to cap off a great weekend, or they are looking to recoup lost wagers. Dallas is currently a three-point favorite on the road in Arizona, with the Over/Under set at 46.5.

Over the weekend, I provided three reasons why I feel the Cowboys will emerge victorious and cover the three points with Covers.com. First and foremost, historical data.

In 2016, the Cowboys finished 10-5-1 against the spread (depending on which book), while the Cardinals finished 6-10. Not much has really changed about either team. The quarterbacks both effectively played 15 games for their respective teams last season and the Cardinals may have lost their best defender in Calais Campbell.

So far this season both teams are 1-1 in record, but the Cardinals are 0-2 against the spread, as they were favored by 7 in a six-point win against lowly Indianapolis. Both teams are averaging 18 points per game, but Dallas’ scoring has come against two of the NFL’s best defenses, while Arizona’s has come against Detroit and Indy; teams not exactly known for their defensive tenacity.
